Thanks very much for the info, Chris. I think I’m going to wait until I have my current hard drive safely cloned elsewhere before I perform these commands. (If I change the ownership, I am concerned that the original set of user data might be nullified.)

Thanks, Chris. Tried that, but when I logged on as the new user, none of the preferences I had earlier copied into the new user folder were there. So it was coming up as a virgin machine, so to speak. The old user account is still fine however, and the folders there are all still intact.

Have any suggestions?

Thanks again!

Since the sales person at the Apple store told me that the smaller Macbook would run FCS, I had bought one, but following some difficulty and the feedback I subsequently received here, I am returning it. May get a Macbook Pro or just save $ and stay on my G5… But will FCS2 run on the dual 1.8 G5 with 1 GB of ram?

P.S. Uh oh, that’s a new topic, isn’t it?

Yeh, I was afraid of that. The sales guy at the Apple Store in Santa Monica said it would run fine, but be slow to render. Guess I get to take the thing back now. ‘Least I have my trusty G5.

Thanks for the feedback.
